2017-2018 D1 Women's Soccer Talk!

Straight/Fade. I can also draw the ball if needed, but prefer to just hit it straight.

I need the giddy up of a draw.

Set up closed (left foot ahead of right foot), point the club face towards your target, and make sure you release your swing.

 

[surfrider]

Fair enough!

Swing speed 104-106 smash factor 145. Currently using a stiff Diamana S+ BlueBoard 60 shaft. IMO a little to whippy, since I have a quick tempo and aggressive transition resulting into a high ball flight.

What are you trying to accomplish? People kill for apex! X stiff might be optimal at 115. Higher kick will relieve the whip. Maybe work lower ball flight by teeing low or integrating a stinger when it calls for a lower trajectory. Find the Texas lo riser

All the snapchats I get from the locker room seem pretty nice.

Maybe they got new locker rooms. If so much needed!

I don’t have a problem getting the ball up. My issue is the sneaky left hook coming out of nowhere, lol.

I want a more penetrating ball flight with my driver to get maximum roll out. I don’t like seeing the ball tailing up....means to much spin.

Kicker4life, I do like the Silver Aldila Rogue.... stiff shaft with 70 gram weight it is.

I agree, but there is a glaring disparity between the facilities for the male baseball players and the female soccer players. It is a private school, they can do what they want. While they may be friendly, the people that control the purse strings have chosen to not spend money on facilities for the female athletes up to this point. I hope they open their eyes and treat the ladies with some respect. The practice field could use some work as well.

If you could have seen the field when my daughter was recruited, it was a drag strip.
Now they have a beautiful field that is large enough to really spread the game out. We cant get everything at once.
The baseball program has a national championship under their belt.

I dont ask about women's locker rooms.
My kid never brought it up, so its no issue with me.

 

[SpeedK1llz]

The program is on the rise. Back to back conference titles attest to that.
They just put a new field in a couple seasons ago.
If the winning continues, good things will happen, and even without great bleachers, its still one of the best places to play.

At the beginning of the year, at the parents orientation, there was mention of some new athletic center. It wasn't totally clear what sports would benefit most but keeping my fingers crossed that soccer gets some love. They deserve it.

 

[Ricky Fandango]

Come one surfrider. Your other alias is Swoosh.

You posted the following.....
1. You posted the 3 center defenders in the Pac12 who were on the Herman Trophy watch list. Who would follow that list unless a parent’s kid was on the list.
2. You posted the weekend of the USC vs ASU game that the USC pink uniforms were hard to watch.
3. You posted your DD has played MAP’s.
4. Your DD played against MAP’s in club. This tells me your DD is from SoCal eliminating the other 2 Pac12 ctr defenders on the Herman Trophy watch list. Who happen to be the ASU ctr defender from Europe and Sam Hiatt from Washington.

Got to love deductive reasoning.

Now back to I am going to change my driver shaft to a mid-high bend point, low spin and low trajectory shaft. Should I go with the Diamana D+ white board, Tensei Orange, or Aldila Rogue Silver in stiff or x-stiff, 60 or 70 gram weights?

MaPs kid played ECNL.
They could have played against each other in any number of events as interstate matchups.

 

[Ricky Fandango]

I agree, Tim and Max are good individuals for sure.

They are, but its more than that.
There's a really positive vibe at Pepperdine, from the faculty, to the kids, to the regular guys and gals who work there.

Reading these makes me feel like my player's staff sandbagged on her bio

Those that care, know your DDs accomplishments very well. No need to publish.

And the parents. All class acts.

Well, you guys are anyways.

I have not been there in two years. Good to hear they are improving things. The players and coaching staff certainly deserve it.

I have no problem rt to left, my butter cut isn't as dependable.

How could they not have a positive vibe there? When my kid spent a weekend there the response was "it feels like I am floating on a cloud," quickly forgetting that they did not have the planned major. The environment is so beautiful it is very soothing and the Coral Beach Cantina up the road has the best beans. Beats the smog the local Pac12s endure.

And those hills

Nope. You are @Swoosh . Ally Prisock's dad. Nice try. You aren't very smart. NO PLAYER ON THE ALL PAC 12 FIST TEAM PLAYED OUTSIDE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA.

Please try to keep your lies straight. LOL....

Im not smart at all. You have just thrown another great player under the bus in your unfiltered stupidity of self grandeuer. You never equaled up to anything (your google search shows that) and you now live solely through your kid who has achieved 10 times more than anything you ever achieved. Why dont you just show some humility and give kids credit where its due.

If you watched the Canada USA game tonight the announcers felt Fleming was the player of the game for Canada. She seems to be the one that always sets up the person that gets the assist. Always makes the correct play. USA looked a bit flat. Some of the players looked tired and were off.

Fleming reminds me of a female version of the great Xavi Hernandez from Barcelona.
